- andrewcooke 17y agoyou really think the customer knowing a driver's location, or someone seeing them go past on the street, is the same as a centralised record?
- jfager 17y agoNot at all, when did I say that? I said it makes no sense to think a cab driver has any reasonable expectation that the location of his cab would be private in any sense when it's in service and carrying passengers. As a frequent cab rider, I'm happy to know that the location of the stranger's car that I just jumped into is tracked and recorded at all times. Why do you think this information should be kept private?
